'What?' I ask in my mind as it still reels from the Goblin dead at my feet. 'King? Me? Ha! More believable if someone said Christ rose from the dead again!' As I laugh in my mind I see more black mist starting to spread and more creatures forming.

  'Damn' I start thinking of my next course of action. I was able to deal with one Goblin but the amount forming now is around 5. Wait. Title? System? Goblin? The world get turned into a shitty RPG!? OK. Calm down. Breathe in. Breathe out. If this is like all those novels I read from Lv1Slime and others then all I have to do is call up Status. Once I think that a screen appears before me.

  'So my stats are pretty well rounded with Vitality and Fortification being on the lower side.'

  While I checked my status the Goblins are nearly formed. I panic. "Add all to Strength!" A glow descends before me. I feel stronger to put it simply. I run to the Goblin corpse and remove my screwdriver from it's head. Just as I do the Goblins are completely formed.

  Not wanting to be caught on the defensive like the first time I rush the nearest Goblin. It looked the same as the last one only this one was carrying a rusty sword instead of a club. The Goblin caught unaware is rewarded with a screwdriver through the eye and I am rewarded with a scream to my ear. I look at the Goblin and examine it. A screen appears before me.

  'Wow that took out half it's health and inflicted two status effects.' I go in for a second strike before it's allies become fully aware. The goblin prepared now swings its sword wildly to prevent my approach. I halt. It stops swinging just as planned. I throw the screwdriver at it's head, the goblin not expecting it barely reacts and slightly moves it's head to my right causing the screwdriver to land just above it's right eye. I can see it's health bar flashing red very close to the end. Just as I'm about to advance it collapses as it's health bar empties. 'Oh yeah it had a bleed effect didn't it?'

  The remaining Goblins have all but formed so I rush to it and the previous Goblins loot. I saw two test tubes with a red liquid dropped from the first Goblin, and the rusty sword from the second.

  I immediately equip the sword and put the test tubes in the back pocket of my shorts. All 4 remaining Goblins form at the same time. Once they see their fallen comrades on the ground they screech towards me. Two Goblins are weilding clubs, one a rusted sword and the last a rusted axe. They aren't what you'd call organised as they are just wildly charging. It is also evident they are the smartest as two of the Goblins trip over the corpses. As they were the front runners I quickly stab the sword weilding one who fell in the neck. As I go for the second but the as the other two have arrived I only get a basic wound off. I am struck in the arm by a club. I check my stats and see I lost 40 health from that strike. My arm stings like a bitch. I can only take 4 more of those. Suddenly a notification appears.

  I wonder why I suddenly leveled up but not one to talk down a bad thing I quickly stab out my sword to push back the goblins. The Axe wielder not being threatened pushes forward with an overhead swing. I quickly swipe the sword at his wrists hoping to veer the course of the axe away. I may have 140 health remaining but I don't think that'll save from an Axe to the head.

  I got more than I asked for as the slice cuts of one hand and severely wounds the other. I see a number float above it's head.

  Knowing this was my chance i pierce towards it's neck that is defenseless. The strike holds true and the Goblin falls. As I am pulling my sword free the remaining two club Goblins intercept me causing me to have to abandon the sword. Instead I pick up the Axe. Thinking I won't be lucky enough to receive more mishaps on their account I think of ways to bring down their defenses. As we are in the middle of a street I don't see anything laying around but I do see a thin alley behind me and to the right so I sprint for it. The Goblins infuriated I would run chase wildly at me one in front of the other. Just as I turn the alley corner I stop and wait. The alley is only wide enough for one Goblin at a time which helps me.

  Just as soon as the Goblin appears it is met with an axe chop to the head.I get a notification indicating a Fatal Hit. As I pull the axe free the remaining Goblin appears. Still mad at me running it doesn't think about it being the last Goblin left. It swings rather crudely at me as it doesn't have much space in the alley. I let the club hit so I myself could get a hit off. I cleave at the Goblins abdomen.

  I quickly pull out and strike the same spot as before while the Goblin as the wind knocked out of it. The goblin collapses.
